It's hard to believe these cupcakes can taste so delicious, yet be so easy," writes Nancy Reichert of Thomasville, Georgia. "Frost them if you wish, but my family likes them plain, which is great when I'm having an especially busy day."

Great cupcake recipe. It would work with any flavor cake mix. I don't usually make cupcakes but will do this one again and again.

I didn't have yellow cake mix on hand, so I used the chocolate cake mix instead - I liked it as did my teens. The cream cheese made the cupcakes really moist. Very good.

it taste great. but I didn't cook it long enough so it fell when I got it cooled. But still worth it.
